Self-Monitoring

Language we use when self-monitoring our reading

• Did I make any mistakes?
• Did that sound right?
• Did it look right?
• Did that make sense to me?
• Wat does that word... sentence... mean?
• Did I understand what I just read?
• Which was the important information?
• What was the bit I found really interesting?

Strategies we use when self-monitoring for accuracy and understanding.



























Reading Rate
We also need to self-monitor the rate we are reading.
How fast or slow we read depends on the type of text
and the purpose for reading.

We need to be aware of our purpose for reading and our
level of understanding of the text read and then adjust
our reading rate to suit.
